Almighty God, many topics compete for our attention. Often the pros and cons of one issue compete for our
support. Holy God, guide us to see what is right, what corresponds to reality, what is the truth. And give us the courage
to stand by the truth.

When several truths compete for our attention, give us the vision to see which is of greater importance in Your
view. When several truths deserve consideration at once, give us the wisdom to place them in the order of priority that
You would choose.

HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 23

WHEREAS, the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act requires states to assess all students in their state’s
assessment program; and

WHEREAS, the Act provides for a limited number of students with disabilities to be assessed with an alternate
assessment, but only 1% of a school district’s tested population may be counted as proficient or above using the alternate
assessment; and

WHEREAS, this limitation results in some special needs students being included in the regular state assessment
system when, in fact, their cognitive disabilities are such that they should not be assessed with their age or grade-level
peers; and

WHEREAS, a more appropriate assessment for them might be a test that was developed for use in some grade-level below the grade in which they are classified, but the United States Department of Education regulations governing
the implementation of the NCLB Act prohibit this "out of grade-level" testing; and

WHEREAS, the United States Department of Education has recently allowed for the inclusion of an additional
2% of students with disabilities to be assessed with a modified grade-level assessment, but this additional flexibility still
prohibits “out of grade-level” testing; and

WHEREAS, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA), which predates the NCLB
Act, contains requirements for assessment that must be included in the student’s individualized educational program
(IEP), which may not meet the requirements of the NCLB Act for assessment and thus may place the IEP team at odds
with the overall NCLB assessment process and may create confusion for parents; and

WHEREAS, certain accommodations written into an IEP, such as reading out loud or paraphrasing, are
currently not acceptable for certain assessments under NCLB procedures, thus making the student’s performance on the
assessment not count for NCLB purposes and denying the student an accommodation that the IEP team has documented
as necessary to the child’s best chances for a proficient performance; and

WHEREAS, Secretary Margaret Spellings has shown an admirable flexibility in permitting experimentation
with alternative approaches to the NCLB Act while keeping the focus on accountability:

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the House of Representatives of the Ninety-third
General Assembly, Second Regular Session, the Senate concurring therein, that the interests of the special needs students
of the state would best be served by reviewing the assessment provisions of IDEA and the NCLB Act together to
eliminate contradictory objectives, so that accommodations that are appropriate to a student with an IEP do not invalidate
the student’s assessment results for the purposes of No Child Left Behind assessments; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chief Clerk of the Missouri House of Representatives be instructed
to prepare properly inscribed copies of this resolution for Margaret Spellings, Secretary of the United States Department
of Education and each member of the Missouri Congressional delegation.

Mr. Speaker: Your Special Committee on Student Achievement and Finance, to which was
referred HB 1865, begs leave to report it has examined the same and recommends that it Do Pass,
and pursuant to Rule 25(26)(f) be referred to the Committee on Rules.

Special Committee on Urban Issues, Chairman Hoskins reporting:

Mr. Speaker: Your Special Committee on Urban Issues, to which was referred HB 1783 and
HB 1479, begs leave to report it has examined the same and recommends that the House
Committee Substitute Do Pass, and pursuant to Rule 25(26)(f) be referred to the Committee on
Rules.

Committee on Tourism, Chairman Marsh reporting:

Mr. Speaker: Your Committee on Tourism, to which was referred HB 1988, begs leave to
